Why Private Debt with CGPH Banque d’Affaires
In an era of restricted bank lending and increasing demand for structured liquidity, private debt has become the cornerstone of institutional finance.

-
Governance Discipline – documentation, covenants, and monitoring frameworks that safeguard transparency and control.
Through this integrated approach, CGPH Banque d'affaires transforms private credit into a resilient instrument of performance — one that combines structure, protection, and value across borders.

Market Insight — Private Debt Outlook 2026
The global private debt market enters 2026 with renewed strength, shaped by higher base rates, reduced bank lending, and sustained demand for alternative credit.
Institutional investors continue to expand allocations toward direct lending, asset-backed finance, and cross-border private credit, seeking predictable yield and disciplined risk protection.
Across Europe and international markets, several trends define the new landscape:
Selective Growth Over Volume
Capital is increasingly directed toward transactions supported by governance, reporting discipline, and verified fundamentals rather than momentum-driven credit flows.

Real assets, infrastructure, logistics, and industrial projects attract institutional capital due to their transparency, contractual visibility, and collateral coverage.
Cross-Border Integration
The strongest opportunities lie in multi-jurisdictional transactions, where legal harmonization and fiscal optimization enhance yield and risk-adjusted performance.
Institutionalization of Private Credit
Funds, family offices, and alternative lenders are adopting investment banking standards — covenant depth, monitoring, ESG metrics — transforming private credit into a fully institutional asset class.
Sustainability and ESG Reporting
Sustainability-linked covenants and data-driven reporting frameworks are becoming standard components of structured private debt deals.
In this evolving environment, CGPH Banque d’Affaires serves as a strategic bridge between institutional capital and real-economy borrowers, structuring transactions that combine clarity, protection, and performance across borders.

Glossary — Private Debt & Structured Credit
Private Debt

It includes direct lending, mezzanine, hybrid structures, and asset-backed financing designed to offer yield, governance, and flexible capital.
Direct Lending
A core segment of private debt where institutional lenders provide loans directly to companies, bypassing the traditional banking system.
Direct lending is often secured, covenant-protected, and designed for predictable, risk-adjusted performance.
Senior Secured Loan
A debt instrument backed by collateral and holding priority over other creditors.
Common in corporate and cross-border private debt structures due to enhanced protection and lower risk.
Mezzanine Financing
A hybrid form of private debt combining elements of debt and equity.
Mezzanine capital is subordinated to senior debt but offers higher returns, often including warrants or profit participation.

A single, blended loan combining senior and mezzanine features.
Popular in mid-market transactions for its simplicity, speed, and streamlined documentation.
